Where's the fun in that?Manjaro is Arch without the setup.
I've been using Arch on my home workstation for ages now, and I've never had an update break my system. Just make sure you read the Beginners Guide when you are installing and it's all pretty straightforward.
I think now is a good time to install Arch as it's now fully moved to systemd, there should be no big changes in the immediate future, just package updates.

To me, that'd be a great reason to not use Arch, as I'm not too happy with the way it and udev are going. I don't know about slack, but in Gentoo you can use whatever init system you want, and aren't confined to systemd. Gentoo also has a fork of udev allowing separate /usr without an initramfs, which is very handy.

Arch probably has the best documentation of the 3 just in case you screw up.
Hands up everybody who has used the fabulous Arch documentation? My most recent usage was the definitive wiki page on the state of play with Bluray and Linux:

Can't be matched by any other distro, but I will stick with Slackware all the same
You think that's air you're breathing now?
From what I've learned from others that use the different distro's Slackware is a good teacher and next to that Gentoo.
I've been running Debian a little over 6 months and it runs rock solid and stable!
